namespace App\Traits;
use Mail;
trait MailTrait
{

    public function fn_send_mail($arr_recepients, $str_subject, $str_content)
    {
        Mail::send('mail.mailsample', ['content' => $str_content], function($message)
        {
            $message->to($arr_recepients);
            $message->from('abc.org', 'abc');
            $message->subject($str_subject);

        });
        if(Mail:: failures())
            return false;
        else
            return true;
    }

}

from my controller called the function fn_send_mail() and passed parameter as below $status = $this->fn_send_mail(['123.gmail.com'],'hai', 'hai');

You should pass the $arr_recepients to the callback-block

{
      $message->to($arr_recepients);
      $message->from('abc.org', 'abc');
      $message->subject($str_subject);
});
